Hello FreeBSD users, I have been operating under the assumption that the same network interface card cannot handle two different networks. But then I seem to have seen an example in one of the OReillĄ books on networking that had one interface with one assigned inet address and also aliased with another address that could only be on another network. If I understood that right, it seems to imply that I can use one Network interface card for at least two different networks, like so; 192.168.1.<somthing> and alias 172.0.0.<something> or; 192.168.1.<something> alias 192.168.2.<something> If this is possible is it accomplished via a special routing? My concern is that I have a laptop with one network interface, built in, but would like to access it both at a public static address and a private network address. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for time and attention; Jeff Khome | help
